Background and Objectives: Denture cleanser is the most widely used method by patients to maintain clean healthy dentures but prolonged use of such cleansers may affect properties denture. The present study was carried out evaluate effect three prepared denture which were 4% citric acid, tartaric oxalic acid in addition Protefix a commercially available cleansers, on some mechanical physical (c...

Viscoelastic finite element method was attempted to apply to the removable prosthodontic field. To examine the accuracy of this analysis, the results obtained from creep test of soft lining materials were compared with the calculated results by using this analysis. Stress relaxation in the supporting tissue under the upper complete denture was simulated by using viscoelastic analysis. The resul...

Silica coating modifies hydrophobic denture base materials to have a hydrophilic surface. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of silica coating to a denture base material on resistance to Candida albicans (C. albicans) adherence. Specimens were prepared by polymerizing an acrylic denture lining material and polished using silicon carbide paper up an abrasive grade of 1000. The ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the bonding properties of denture bases to silicone-based soft denture liners immersed in isobutyl methacrylate (iBMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) for various lengths of time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) test specimens were fabricated (75 mm in length, 12 mm in diameter at the thickest section, and 7 mm a...

Crossliked plastic denture teeth have been used clinicaly in order to improve the poor wear resistance of conventional acrylic denture teeth. We suggest that highly crosslinked denture teeth are possibly disadvantaged compared with conventional ones, when considering the adhesion to denture base and impact resistance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact resistance of crosslinked...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Candida species are believed to play an important role in initiation and progression of denture stomatitis. The type of the denture material also influences the adhesion of candida and development of stomatitis. PURPOSE The aim of this study was comparing the adherence of candida albicans to the conventional and injection molding acrylic denture base materials. MATE...

objective: studies have demonstrates that physical properties of denture base affect patient satisfaction and acceptance. thermal conductivity is among the most important properties of denture base influencing the sense of taste and gingival health. the conventionally used acrylic resin has a low coefficient of thermal conductivity. this study aimed to improve the thermal conductivity of acryli...

Reline of ill-fitting complete and removable partial dentures enhances their stability and retention by improving the adaptation between the denture intaglio surface and denture-bearing mucosa1). In clinical situations, that reline procedure is usually performed using a direct (chair-side reline system) rather than indirect (laboratory-processed reline system) method, because the former is more...
